In response to dperry
Its symbolic of the rinky-dink nature of this “celebration of Ivy basketball†and the commitment Yale has made as the host this year that the Yale band couldn’t be bothered to show. It appears instead they’ve rented a local HS band.
Well, the hockey team is in the ECAC playoffs at Clarkson; priorities, don't you know. (Yale hockey is mediocre, Clarkson nationally ranked.) Should the hockey team be knocked out tonight, as is likely, and the hoops team advance, one wonders if they'll make the six-hour drive back for the finals tomorrow or not.
To make it even worse, at least a few members of the Cornell band showed up for their women despite the fact that their hockey team is also in the ECAC playoffs, is at home, and is in jeopardy of being eliminated tonight. Yale Band, Yale Band, Yale Band. . .you suck!
